State Grid Corporation of China (SGCC), which operates roughly 80 percent of the nation's electricity grids spanning across 26 provinces, has unveiled plans to massively expand its battery storage fleet and pumped hydro storage capacity and thus help the nation move towards its decarbonization goals.
SGCC Chairman Xin Baoan said Wednesday in a commentary published in the state-owned People's Daily that SGCC aims to have 100GW of battery storage by 2030, up from 3GW today. This is a very ambitious goal, given that BloombergNEF forecasts that all of China will have about 96GW of battery storage by 2030.
Taħt pjan ta' ħames-snin maħruġ din il-ġimgħa, iċ-Ċina qed timmira li tnaqqas l-ispejjeż tal-ħażna tal-batteriji b'madwar 30 fil-mija sal-2025, u twitti t-triq biex l-industriji lokali jiddominaw is-suq globali sal-2030. Barra minn hekk, il-ħmistax-il ħamsa{ {4}}Pjan tas-sena abbozzat mill-Kummissjoni Nazzjonali għall-Iżvilupp u r-Riforma (NDRC) u l-Amministrazzjoni Nazzjonali tal-Enerġija (NEA) tagħti attenzjoni speċjali lill-ħażna tal-arja kkompressata u tipprevedi li din it-teknoloġija se tirrealizza applikazzjonijiet ta 'inġinerija f'unitajiet ta' 100MW ta 'kapaċità.
But SGCC's plans don't end only with battery storage, the grid operator is also planning to increase its pumped storage capacity from the current 26.3GW to 100GW by 2030. This builds on its announcement in January when it said it had commissioned the world's largest pumped-hydro facility. Located in Hebei province, the 3.6GW Fengning Pumped Storage Power Station consists of 12 reversible pump generating sets with a capacity of 300MW each and has a power generation capacity from storage of 6.612 billion kWh. To put SGCC's plans into perspective, China is targeting 120GW of operational pumped-hydro facilities by 2030, according to the NEA.
Barra minn hekk, Xin qal li SGCC qed tippjana wkoll li żżid il-kapaċità trans{0}}provinċjali tagħha ta 'trażmissjoni tal-enerġija u tappoġġja l-bini tax-xemx u tar-riħ fiż-żoni tad-deżert tal-punent. Fl-aħħar nett, qal li l-operatur tal-grilja se jfittex ukoll li jimplimenta trasmissjoni DC flessibbli, impjanti tal-enerġija virtwali, sigurtà u stabbiltà ta 'grids tal-enerġija kbar, u tap-changers ta' vultaġġ ultra-għoli, fost teknoloġiji oħra.
According to Xin, SPCC made these plans to align with the Chinese government's dual carbon goal to reach peak carbon emissions by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. China's decarbonization policy has already created pressure on state-owned enterprises mandating energy storage with the order to build renewables-plus-storage projects introduced for the very first time by the NEA last April.
In terms of supporting policies, NEA, the country's major energy policymaking authority, has already launched a series of incentives and advisory documents with an eye on the interim goal to deploy 30GW of energy storage capacity by 2025. In addition, several provinces have also released policies supporting storage for renewable energy installations.
Iżda minkejja l-pjanijiet ta 'dekarbonizzazzjoni tagħha, iċ-Ċina tkompli tammonta għal sehem kbir taż-żidiet globali tal-faħam. Rapport reċenti ppubblikat minn tliet think tanks u lobbyists ambjentali jsib li ċ-Ċina hija dar għal 55 fil-mija tal-pipeline dinji għal faċilitajiet ġodda tal-faħam u, flimkien mal-Indja, il-Vjetnam, l-Indoneżja, it-Turkija u l-Bangladexx, flimkien tammonta għal 82 fil-mija tal-pjanijiet għal impjanti ġodda tal-faħam.
